I am looking for an expression as an alternative to fast in the following expression:

Ever since they have constructed flyover/overbridge, traffic has been very fast.

My laptop has been super fast, ever since I have had the ram changed.

  • At blazing speed, speed of light, speed of lightning; fast as lightning; at cyberspeed; lickety-split; quick as a flash; hypersonic, supersonic, presto, pronto; thesaurus.

  • Flying, though why not think of something new like "faster than a paparazzo whose just spotted an actress in short skirt". Adjust for tone appropriate.

I like "greased lightning" or "warp speed" for an expression meaning "super fast"

For the traffic example consider:

- zips along
- quick as a bunny
- races
- jets

For the computer perhaps:

- rockets
- jets

Or a retro:

like the dickens
